It is this determination Andy Flower and the selectors rely to justify their judgment in him returning as captain on one side for whom he played last 15 months.
Ultimately they see as successor to Andrew Strauss as Test captain and 50-job is a way to give it some needed experience. And yet, it remains a point moot if he would even have the Kevin Pietersen squad remained in the role of the opener, despite his hernia double, it is a reasonable success in the World Cup.
With rear Pietersen four, Cook must make a decent fist of his promotion for these two formats be unified Finally, under a single man. Until that day, too complicated system of three captains - with Stuart Broad with the ears of the T20 players just three days ago will persist.
"I have just myself as a captain for a day," said Cook. "I am only concentrating on this series.". With three captains is certainly new and we will see how it works over the next 12 months.
"At this moment we have two inexperienced officers, trying to learn off the coast of Straussy.". We are very distinct in what we do, but it gives me not the great honour to lead the side a day before. »
He also holds Strauss: an example of a drummer of opening able to improve its rate of strike at an acceptable level for the modern game, something Cook claims to have played for Essex when out of the side of a day of England.
"Strauss is a good example for me, said Cook." When he began to play cricket one-day strike rate was approximately 65, maybe 70, but in the end, it was up to 80.
"You can evolve as a player and certainly improve and certainly did that."
While it is true that Cook has improved his stick to a day of Essex, the gain is strictly relative, at least in matches and 40-over Clydesdale Bank he played last season at the beginning of the.
With an international strike rate of 71.3, which is too low for an opener granted stick in the main powerplay opportunities, his ascent to the 76.7 with Essex is not much more than a notch in the right direction, given the less demanding nature of the bowling.
If England is to operate the also effectively played the other équipes, it must really be between 85-90, and it is a bond greater than that made by the Chairman Mao.
He could barely selected a tougher opponent to make his big play against them. Sri Lanka finalists World Cup play cricket one day that it should be, with flair and aggression.
Last time they were here, they won the series bowling one of the 5 - de le 5-0 0 day, overwhelming England long track, a salutary experience for Strauss but that appears not to have any lasting harm.
The return of Tim Bresnan team would normally be a source of comfort to any master, but the Yorkshireman has managed only seven overs in six weeks T20 since refine a calf muscle, producing a single window for 74 runs.
sri Lanka pourrait field on one side even stronger for this match than the one that decimated the offshore team in the T20 Saturday. Tillakaratne Dilshan is 50 - 50 to play, following his broken thumb, the same chances given to Angelo Mathews with a bowl.
A man who is guaranteed to play, by presidential decree, is Sanath Jayasuriya. Saturday, he excelled with the ball, but failed with the bat.
This game is the final farewell for 41 years, so it will be desperate UNCITRAL a few around the oval, complete if it can.
